Everybody knows that the quality of education of Government schools is not up to the mark. The Government recently announced a series of reforms aiming at maintaining its goodwill which involved punishing teachers who are on unauthorized absence, providing toilets to all Government schools, introduction of computers etc. But it is still not known how efficient Government schools currently are. Do you think the quality of Government schools has become better or worsened? :blink:

Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal said that "government is in no financial position to ensure high quality education to all the children in government schools" and he seek help from private schools.

Yes it may be true but they should at least see the basic facilities like teachers should be punctual that won't need any extra money to spend. :)


Its true. Teachers are the major problem in the government schools.
It is the right time for central and all the state governments to work on government schools especially in remote and rural areas.

There are no teachers in the remote and rural area government schools. Most of the schools are locked out due to teachers scarcity. But the government is ready to open more TASMAC shops in tamilnadu..........
"Even front-row seats near the blackboard or a post as class monitor are up for sale." I think India is better than China in providing education as of now.

It is indeed quite shocking to read that...somehow one cannot associate bribe with a communist nation..I hope this is not western media gimmick,they have a way of running down China and other Asian countries even for trivial reasons...

Even most of us can't believe that bribe entered into a communist nation. May be your view can also be true ushaji.
Recently a tamil movie 'Saattai' has been released. This movie is all about Governement schools (School infra structure, teachers, students and parents). It explains all the aspects.

I too saw that film robert. It also deals with the teenage love among the students.
There are several Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) all over the country. It would be better if 20% of those organisations start working on improvement of government schools.

Already most of the NGO's are working with the local schools to develop the education for poor. As you said we need more volunteers and participation in this.

I also feel that capitalistic system towards which China is now slowly leaning, has its own drawback, especially since it indirectly encourages greed and corruption .I feel that also could be a reason...
Well Said Usha ji, Corruption is spreading rapidly across the world especially to countries like China (Communism). Everyone is greedy.
Once we accept corruption as the done thing there is no hope from what I see ....I see some government schools which have deteriorated steadily over the past few years due to negligence and want of funds instead of progressing like most private schools do

Even private schools get bribe from the parents in the name of donation for their development. Corruption is flooded among us in different names.

If government school, it is bribe. Most of the private schools get these as donation or capitation fee. Education is the most profit yielding business,

Agreed , but the difference is that private schools are accountable and one can demand things when there is no performance or you dont get your moneys worth, which is not the case in government schools...If the government schools were well run, charging a nominal fees I am sure people would definitely send their children to those..

Before 20 or 25 years,education is not a business.It is changed into business by the Government allowing private sector in to education field.Thus,the face of education changed from service to business..
As long as there is a craze among the parents for private English medium schools and a low feeling towards the govt. schools, I feel the standards of these schools might not improve. Keeping aside the schools run by the central govt viz. Kendriya Vidyalays, the schools run by the state govt in most of the states are in pathetic condition and still there is a need for the improvement of the same be it the infra structure, providing the basic facilities, hygienic conditions, qualified / experienced faculty or many other such requirements. Unfortunately due to various reasons parents of even middle class / lower middle families as well are not showing interest in admitting their children in the govt schools. I feel that the govt schools run by various states govt. are yet to improve a lot and the govt needs to give priority to the education sector and try to make these govt schools at par with the private English medium schools so that the public would at least show some interest in joining their wards in these schools.
